Financial Policies

The fees in our office are based on three general criteria:

The care, skill and judgment required to provide that service

The time and expense needed to provide a service

We use quality materials and high quality laboratories. We don’t believe in cutting costs in this area as we want to provide our patients with treatment that will stand the test of time. We are very proud to see our dental procedures and results last as long as they do.

Payment is due at the time of service. We accept cash, check, MasterCard™, Visa™ and Discover™. We make every effort to keep down the cost of dental care. Payment at the time of service helps contain costs associated with billing.

Payment Plans

Our goal is not to let the cost of investing in your oral health prevent a patient from benefiting from quality dental care. To facilitate this goal, our office has developed an in-house, 90-day interest-free payment plan. Also available is Carecredit, a national dental care financing program. It can provide up to 6 months financing with no initial retainer and six equal installments with no interest charges to the patient. They also offer a longer pay out period with reasonable interest rates. Our business staff is more than happy to answer any questions you might have regarding payment.

Our office carries accounts receivable for 90 days. We do expect regular monthly payments during that time or late fees will be applied to your account. On accounts that become delinquent over 90 days an interest fee of 18% will be applied unless special financial arrangements have been made with our financial advisor, Donna.

It's always a pleasure to visit our family dentist's office in Shoreham. For 40 years my family and I look forward to going to see Dr. Eric and his very friendly staff. Keep up the good work. Thank you

The office is very welcoming and the staff is very nice. Since my previous dentist retired I have been looking for a replacement that I was just as comfortable with. I found exactly that at this office. Thank God!!

This group of people treats you like part of their family, not as a number. From the friendly women at the front desk, to the knowledgable hygienist, to the dentists, everyone makes you feel at home. Can't wait to go back for my next visit!

My son was so anxious about getting his tooth extracted. Dr. Eric treated him with kindness, compassion and respect. The procedure was quick and painless and my son left smiling!!! Thank you! It is always a pleasure dealing with The Doctors and staff in this office!

Dr. George - Shoreham

I have never had a dentist who I actually enjoyed going to. They are entertaining, caring, state-of-the-art, and very talented. The same office staff is always there, unlike my previous dentists who had new faces everytime I showed up. This office takes pride in their work and commitment to their patients. I would never go anywhere else. Once you give them a try, you will be convinced.

At last, after many years of anxiety filled, painful dental experiences, I have found a dental practice where my comfort and ease were just as important as any of the procedures I had done. I will absolutely be back. Thank you to the entire staff.

I have already recommended Dr. Eric Salmonson to several members of my family, friends and colleagues. His professionalism, care, and great sense of humor relaxed me. I no longer fear going to the dentist! Truly pain free! Office staff are welcoming, friendless and accommodating. Very satisfied!

My 4 year old daughter went for her first cleaning. At the dinner table, she told my husband, "I had a great time there. They have a prize box." Her experience was wonderful and she does not fear the dentist. She is excited to go back. My cleaning was painless, as well!
